Landscapes are meant to blend into the surrounding topography. Such enhancements as waterfalls, rock outcroppings and retaining walls can be created to seem like they’ve been there forever and thereby improve the value of your property. Our rock ledges look so natural that they show no evidence of ever having been moved by human hands. Waterfalls that cascade into a fish pond or swimming pool create a natural focal point on your property.

Flowing water features are valuable enhancements to add around existing swimming pools. The beauty of an artfully crafted rock garden and a cascading waterfall can soften the edges of a pool to make it part of the landscape. The sight and sounds of water flowing into a swimming pool is a unique feature that will enrich your family’s poolside experience. Naturalistic water slides can even be included in the design and are fun for the whole family! There are endless possibilities of how water can be used to create the landscape of your dreams.

Emil Kreye & Son designs and installs custom stonework to build the ideal backyard patio around your swimming pool. Our landscape and patio designs are unique in both shape and style and will compliment your yard, landscape and home. Your patio can be designed with rock, stones, bricks, and even custom paving and pathways. The patio will blend with the surroundings and add value to your home. Custom decking, gazebos, trellises and pergolas can be added to enhance the livability of your poolside setting.

Our unique style of rock-scaping has taken generations to perfect. We produce natural looking rock gardens as they occur in the outdoors. Rock ledges are made to seem like they’ve been there long before the house was built. Our rock installations include natural rock retaining walls, rock patios, rock steps and stairways, rock planting walls, rock gardens, rock ledges, and rock outcroppings. Emil Kreye & Son provides unique and comprehensive solutions to complex site challenges. Visit our Project Transformations to see before and after pictures.
